Default Outdoor thermostat and pond heater

I wouldn't bother with a thermostat, if it's a small pond just get a

floating pond heater and turn it on when the weather looks like it's
going to freeze, the temperature for goldfish isn't that critical, koi
would be a different matter.

Surely Koi won't be a problem as they should have a deep pond in which to
live. A pal of mine had a six ft deep pond which held some really impresive
Koi.

At this depth a bit of surface ice would cause no problems.
